Living the Year of Prayer in Preparation for Jubilee 2025

In this year of Prayer, we are reminded that there are a number of prayers that we can pray together as a community. Our students are familiar with these types of prayers and at times during their Religious Education units, they are encouraged to compose their own prayers.

Prayer of Intercession: “O Father, in Your mercy, hear Your children’s pleas. As we prepare for the Jubilee of 2025, renew our faith, increase the virtues of hope and charity in us, and help us be witnesses of Your love in the world.”

Prayer of Praise: “We praise You, Lord, for Your infinite goodness. In the upcoming Jubilee, open our eyes to the beauty of Your creation so that our hearts may rejoice in the wonder and greatness of Your works.”

Prayer of Thanksgiving: “We thank You, O God, for every blessing and for all the gifts we have received. As we prepare for the Jubilee, teach us to recognize Your hand in every moment of our lives and to welcome each day as a gift of Your mercy and love.”

Prayer of Petition: “Lord, source of all wisdom, guide us during this Year of Prayer as we prepare to celebrate the upcoming Jubilee. Open our hearts and enlighten our minds so that we may understand and fully experience the gifts of mercy and forgiveness.”

Corpus Christi Feast Day

Last Friday we celebrated our parish feast day with a combined Mass and morning tea with St Michael’s. Thank you to Mr Pauperis and the Liturgy Group from both schools, who lead Mass through song.

Mass and Lunch to Celebrate the 40th Anniversary of Father Sean’s Ordination.

This year, Fr. Sean celebrates his 40th Anniversary of priestly ordination, on Sunday 4th August (feast of St, John Vianney, the patron saint of parish priests). Tickets are available at the parish office and a website is now set up for online purchasing. Tickets can be purchased here.

RSVP: 19th July Cost is $55 per head. Children 12 years and under $20 per head.

Children’s Liturgy

All children are warmly invited to attend Children’s Liturgy each Sunday at our 9:30am Mass. This is a wonderful opportunity for our students to unpack the Scriptures and interact with other children from the parish. All welcome!
